Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for December 05, 2012

I’m glad I’m a boy

Keep telling yourself that, Calvin.

On the other hand, there is a certain resemblance between boys and bugs. . . .

@Calvinor your head!!

Why do Americans hate girls so much?

I think the true bug got squashed.

Looks like that Derkins Dame put a Hurtin’ on ya Calvin!

You have pushed the wrong button!

Girls can’t take criticism.

We have other incitements and not so bad ones!

Just another step in the learning process we “boys” go through. A necessary step before becoming “twitterpated” – to borrow the description from Disney.:-)

When I was Calvin’s age, the only other kids my own age in the neighborhood were girls. I managed.

I had forgotten all about thinking like that.

When I was a child, I remember feeling fear that I could have been a boy! Still glad I am not!!

I think she just squashed that bug.

I never went through that stage, I liked girls from the first moment I saw them,

just you wait calvin…you would be a teen and thinking susie is the most beautiful girl ever…got to love teenage hormones.

To day Farther Day’s In Thailand have a greating celabrate…Wish all Dad happiness.. _…

It’s never good to poke a bug when it’s down, that’s when they bite.

Yes, everyone should have an equal right to prove their incompetence

As a boy, I never went through the stage that ‘Calvin’ is in. Girls were just diffferent, not inferior, not superior, just different.Then I grew up, got married and learned just how different ‘girls’ were—epecially in thinking—where do they come up with all their strange ideas.

I read recently that 25% of the women in the US are taking meds for mental illness. That’s scary!! It means that 75% are running around untreated.

Just yesterday he wanted to cheat off of her test! Badly done, Calvin!

Calvin is a cool kid. He gets away with a lot of dumb stuff, though. LoL

I thought boys liked bugs.

Way to go, Girl!

Menstrual cycle, childbirth, menopause… maybe nature did play a cruel trick on our beloved “other halves”.

If Calvin did’nt pick on Susie all the time she would think he does’nt like her…..He must like her alot to take that kind of punishment.

At this rate Calvin, you are never gonna get your finger on it.

Calvin went ‘head over heels’ for Susie.

You must be the bug in the family – getting squashed. If feasible I let my husband indulge in his little fantasies. Maybe offer to sell one of the other cars. Logical is good but not fun.Calvin is fun – I love him.

Calvin, you did not put your finger on it. You put your foot in your mouth …

I wonder if it DOES somehow balance out? What with death rates during childbirth, and Taliban style oppression, I don’t see how it could…

You may not have put your finger on it. But you definitely put your foot into it…

SUSAN NEWMAN Well I have lived long enough to see a black man become president and reelected. I can only hope to live long enough to see a woman become President as well.

the cruel trick is making them Irresistible to men (bugs and chicks)

I think Calvin forgot that girls can pack a punch, too.

I think it’s safe to say, none of us guys were very smart about girls at that age…

Susie sure is string to beat him up like that.

Nature did play a cruel trick, Calvin, but it was on you. Little boys like you dislike and disrespect girls. Then, when you are older and have alienated all of them that you know, you will suddenly want them even more strongly than you wanted them gone. Will Susie be understanding when she is older, or will she extract her revenge?

Reminds me of an old “Laugh In” joke: Dick Martin -“There’s something about her that I like, but I can;t put my finger on it.”

Calvin you had better find a better place for your finger,because that was not it.When Susie gets older shes going to hang beatings on you that are really going to hurt.By the time you are married you will be humble yes man.

Stick out your finger and press the wrong button and you will get a lesson from the school of hard knocks. Calvin needs to get some advice from Hobbes on how to schmooze the distaff side of life – I mean, how else are you going to get smoochies or at least avoid knuckle sandwiches?

That is so funny! And true – you just can’t win with us women. Well, maybe if you sell that one, you can buy the one you really want as she seems to be warming up to the idea of a convertible. Good luck.

I don’t know about finger on it but you sure put ‘foot in mouth’.

It’s tough life Calvin. Glad you have Hobbes!!

Given the ridiculous amounts of money that (male) coaches and pro players of every kind make these days, I find myself often thinking that I was definitely born the wrong sex!!!!!

Hey, boys are the ones who are made of snails. And we hardly have a “dim perception” (Well, sometimes I lose touch with reality, but 1. that’s beside the point and 2. I’m not a normal girl.)

Of course, Danae from Non-Sequitor calls us ‘booger brained boys’. I love her all the same.

Or stuck your foot in it!!

I think both genders are equal.

I only hated girls as a kid because I felt obligated to
